SFTP Sync Download Tree w/ Must-Match Directory Constraints

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how SFTP synchronize a directory tree in the download direction, but only entering directories matching a set of wildcard filenames.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.76 or greater.

Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loSftp
LOCAL lcRemoteDir
LOCAL lcLocalDir
LOCAL lnMode
LOCAL lnRecursive

lnSuccess = 0

loSftp = CreateObject('Chilkat.SFtp')

lnSuccess = loSftp.Connect("my-ssh-server.com",22)
IF (lnSuccess = 1) THEN
    lnSuccess = loSftp.AuthenticatePw("mySshLogin","mySshPassword")
ENDIF

IF (lnSuccess = 1) THEN
    lnSuccess = loSftp.InitializeSftp()
ENDIF

IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Possible synchronization modes are:
* mode=0: Download all files
* mode=1: Download all files that do not exist on the local filesystem.
* mode=2: Download newer or non-existant files.
* mode=3: Download only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the local filesystem, it is not downloaded from the server.
* mode=5: Download only missing files or files with size differences.
* mode=6: Same as mode 5, but also download newer files.

* Only enter remote directories named either "data" or matching "x*"
loSftp.SyncMustMatchDir = "data; x*"

* Imagine our remote directory tree has these files and directories:

* 	accentedLatin1.txt
* 	accentedUtf8.txt
* 	alice.key
* 	anter_cert.pem
* 	chiliPepper.gif
* 	helloWorld.pdf
* 	abc/chiliPepper.gif
* 	abc/ghk/
* 	data/chiliPepper.gif
* 	data/xyz/dkimHtmlBody.txt
* 	data/xyz/dkimVerifyTest.eml
* 	data/xyz/emailForCreateDsn.eml
* 	text/frenchUtf8.txt
* 	text/helloWorld.txt
* 	text/PolishEmailBody.txt
* 	text/something/

lcRemoteDir = "syncDownloadTest/someDir"
lcLocalDir = "qa_output"
lnMode = 0
lnRecursive = 1
lnSuccess = loSftp.SyncTreeDownload(lcRemoteDir,lcLocalDir,lnMode,lnRecursive)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The following files were downloaded:

* accentedLatin1.txt
* accentedUtf8.txt
* alice.key
* anter_cert.pem
* chiliPepper.gif
* helloWorld.pdf
* data/chiliPepper.gif
* data/xyz/dkimHtmlBody.txt
* data/xyz/dkimVerifyTest.eml
* data/xyz/emailForCreateDsn.eml

? "Success."
